1. About ONYX
BOOX is presented by Onyx International, which has a group of professionals who
dedicate themselves in designing state-of-the-art reading terminal. The beauty of the
BOOX is embodied in both its simplicity and its power. As we are going to show you,
BOOX is an open and flexible platform for both consumers and content providers.
BOOX is powered by a 16-level grayscale e-ink screen that looks and feels like paper.
Passive lighting and diffuse surface relax your eyes and reduce eye strain. By the
hand-writing system, you can take notes while reading and sketch up ideas that happen

power consumption without reflection and backlight. Each full charge can sustain a few
weeks' reading. By reducing paper consumption while providing a realistic paper-like
reading experience, digital content helps to protect the environment without sacrificing
convenience or life style.
For content partners, we also provide support for custom formats and digital rights
management solutions. All of our viewers have standard features such as layout
management, font adjustment, full text search, zooming, and page flow.
For a next-generation information device, connectivity is essential. The user can
connect to the Internet by build-in Wi-Fi to
